EASI's webcast is an interview about the A-prompt software tool to evaluate
and repair web pages to meet accessibility standards.  The interview is
with Laurie Harrison and Chris Ridpath
Go to: http://easi.cc and select either site index or webcasts.

Here is part of a press release from U. Toronto:
A-Prompt Toolkit Version 1 - our web accessibility validation and repair
utility is now downloadable free of charge at:
http://www.aprompt.ca/
Developed by the accessibility experts at the Adaptive Technology
Resource Centre (ATRC), University of Toronto, this standalone tool will
check and repair HTML for conformance with WAI Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines 1.0 or Section 508 Standards. If an accessibility problem is
detected, A-Prompt displays the necessary dialogs and guides the user to
fix the problem. When all potential problems have been resolved, the
repaired HTML code is inserted into the document and a new version of
the file may be saved to the author's hard drive.

Note: EASI has 2 online courses on designing accessible web pages both
beginning October 29 and running for a month:
Beginner Barrier-free Web Design www.easi.cc/workshops/easiweb.htm
Advanced Barrier-free Web Design at http://easi.cc/workshops/advwbsyl.htm

Both workshops will count for either continuing education units or count
towards the Certificate in Accessible Information Technology.
